You need to say what you want it for and if you already have onboard sound or not. If you are not gaming then your onboard sound is likely to be moe than adequate for music playback with a good 2. pair of speakers. If you are gaming a good balence between perfomance (low CPU, good effects such as EAX etc and cost would be an audigy 2 card with a reasonable 5. set of speakers. Again the speakers depend upon what quality you need. Typically the more you spend the better they are.....

How to improve speakers and sound quality on Satellite C850-1GL

just bought a Toshiba C850-1GL, very happy with it, with the exception of the sound quality, any suggestions on how this can be improved before I go and buy some external speakers...?

As far as I know you cannot do much about that. This notebook has standard stereo speakers and not high quality Harman/kardon like some other models so if you want to have good and brilliant sound you need external speakers.

Speakers are located under the keyboard, two of them for stereo output. Sound quality is pretty close to MBP. I HAD the i7 MBP, just sold it!

USB-powered Speakers and Sound Preferences

I have two Mac mini's (one intel, one powerPC) both running the latest version of OS 10.4 and both have USB speakers which I allow the computer to power (rather than a separate external power). On both computers I have the same problem; when I reboot, the sound preferences in System Preferences changes back to the output volume being exactly in the middle, if I adjust the output volume and then reboot, I'm back to the output volume being in the middle, rather than as I set it before the reboot. How can I change the output volume of these USB speakers so that it stays even after a reboot?
I've never had this problem with externally powered speakers.
MacMini Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Did this just start with the 10.4.10 update?

Trying to Output Sound to Speakers and TV Simultaneously on H8-1360t

Hi everyone -
I have an HP H8-1360t with an AMD HD 7570 video card, running Windows 7 64-bit. I have speakers hooked up to the on-board sound via a standard 3.5mm cable. I run DVI to my monitor and HDMI to my TV. I am trying to get sound to go to the speakers and the TV simultaneously, without having to keep swapping the default playback device. I tried the following that I found online:
Open Sound panel
Select Speakers as the default playback device
Go to the "Recording" tab
Right click and enable "Show Disabled Devices"
A recording device called "Wave Out Mix", "Mono Mix" or "Stereo Mix" (this was my case) should appear
Right click on the new device and click "Enable"
Right click on the new device and click "Set as Default Device"
Double click on the new device to open the Properties window
Go to the "Listen" tab
Click on the "Listen to this device" checkbox
Select your HDMI device from the "Playback through this device" list
This worked the first time I tried it and I was getting audio through both the PC speakers and from the TV. Since then, it no longer works and I am only get audio via one or the other, depending on what device I select as my default. It's more of an annoyance than anything else - having to manually switch between output devices every time I want to watch something on my TV instead of my monitor. I assumed I could get dual audio output and simply not turn on the PC speakers when I wanted to watch something on the TV and it worked the first time! I don't understand why it is no longer working. Thoughts?
TIA!

Thanks for the reply!
I believe that the answer is answer is yes to both questions - it defintely worked the first time. I'm not sure if I tried it on the first reboot or not but it did not work the next time I tried it. As far as what may have changed - I have no clue?!? I do not see that the 7570 or the Beats audio had any updates. According to Device Manager, I am running the latest IDT High Definition Audio CODEC driver.
i did notice a couple of things tonight. The video I used as a test the other day, that had audio and video going simultaneously on both displays, is displaying video on both the monitor and TV today but no audio on the TV. That said, when I open up the Sound control panel, and click on the AMD HDMI Output, right-click, and click "test", I do get test "beeps" through my TV (while the audio from my video is running through my PC speakers). So, it appears that it is indeed capable of outputting sound to both the PC speakers (via the onboard sound) and the TV (via the HDMI) - just not the same sound anymore! Another thing I noticed is that when I go to the Recording tab, the Stereo Mix selection is noted as the Default Device, and I can watch the "meter" on the right move up and down in sync with the volume of the video I am playing back - only there is no sound via the TV.
As usual, when I switch to the HDMI Audio Output as the Default Device, the sound plays fine on my TV.
This is strange...

Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)
In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device.
Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
I hope this helps.
(I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)

I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions?

I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions and not have to pay to have the entire main board replaced. Preferably something under $100.

I don't think you're likely to find a set of external speakers that come with a microphone and plug directly into a USB port. There are USB audio cards that look like tiny flash drives but have microphone and headphone ports in them, to which you can connect a typical two-plug Windows PC headset with a microphone, or else you can connect external speakers and a stand-alone microphone. Those adapters typically cost under $10. I don't know anything about the quality of sound that can be expected from them.
I have a Griffin iMic, which is much the same idea but larger, a bit more expensive (retail~$40), and perhaps delivers somewhat better sound quality (I hope so, but I don't know because I've never had occasion to try one of the little ones).

My problem is that after upgrade to IOS 6.1.3 my iphone not sounds! dont have sounds notifications for whatssap, FB, mails and can't listen music and talk with skype without headphones or speakers! only have vibrator and sound for one coming call!! what can i do!???? Thanks a lot for help me!!!!

I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

HT1349 My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?

My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number. I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".

This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.

2001 Dell w/ Sound Blaster card+strip end speakers and two things I don't know to c

well, I have two devices that a combo CD player/Tape decks/radio tuner/amp; one has misc input, the other doesn't. Both are analog devices, both are old things I bought at a yard sale. I got 6 bookshelf speakers that use pairs of stripped wire as the input hooked up in 2 parallel wired sets of 3 to the CD/Tape/Tuner/Amp thing that has a misc input. Anyway, the one without misc input has a 3 disk CD changer, plus it would give me a way to input tape and radio sounds sources into my computer if I just connected it's audio outputs to the internally located Aux In on my soundblaster card in my computer. But I wonder, what considerations do I have to have? Firstly, is the Aux In on my board analog or digital? I'm assuming if it doesn't say "digital", it's analog; correct?...... secondly, and more importantly; the CD/Tape/Tuner/Amp thing is supposed to be used with 8 ohm speakers and do I have to worry about sending too much current to the soundcard?
specific model of SB card; I'm not sure. It has 2 analog outs, analog in, mic in, digital out and a joystick port; and it came installed on a 200 Dell w/ Win ME
and please, don't try selling me something; I use old crappy hardware and really do not mind doing so.
any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Aux-In is an analog port (4-pin connector/stereo).
Don't connect powered output (= speaker outputs) into soundcard but, if possible, use some low-power connection like Headphones-Out (or if possible then some line-out port).

Simultaneous sound: how to get sound from internal speakers and usb audio adapter

I have an iMac in my living room. It is hardwired to my home theater system in my family room. Currently, I can listen to audio in one location or the other... but not both. I bought a StarTech.com ICUSB Audio Adapter hoping that it would be a fix... not so much. Downloaded SoundSource... not so much
How can I get audio to play via my internal speakers and through my home theater system? Hosting a party this Saturday and would like multiple rooms filled with sound.

First pluging is headphones and then unplugging it. If yu can't get it fully inseted tham may indicate that end of a plug is broken off inside the jack.
Then if not above problem, try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Sound from both speakers and headset! How to fix?

Hi I've had this problem since buying my laptop early last year; whenever I skype call, all other sounds except for my call itself comes out through the speaker. Due to my mic being internal I am then forced to play games without sound and am unable to watch videos/ movies whilst skyping. I have googled this, and it appeared people has had identical issues in the past. However, the remedy for this issue does not work for me. I go into: Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings; but there is not option for Headphones/ Speaker. It only has speakers and headphones separately for me. Please help me as I have been unable to play games with sound/ watch videos for the past year while in skype (Which is extremely frequent). Thanks

I hooked up external speakers and the sound will only come out of 1 speaker

I have an electronic karaoke system on my HP envy dv7 Notebook and I just bought 2 new Mackey Powered Speakers and a new Mackey ProFX12 mixing board. I can only get sound to come out of 1 speaker. How do I get the sound to come out of the Right and the Left at the same time? Thanks for any input or help you can provide.

You may have dust or a small object in your headphone jack. You can purchase cans of air from computing stores that can clear any dust that may be causing the problem. If that doesn't work then a larger object may have damaged part of the jack at which point it would be advised to visit your local Genius Bar and see what repairs they can offer. Try not to insert any other objects especially ones with sharp edges into the jack as this often creates further damage. Hope everything is working again soon.
